No, NTL have.

Virgin were great until they merged with NTL and then NTL shut the virgin servers down and shifted everybody onto thier already overloaded heaps of shite!

Good result!

I would be using a wireless keyboard/mouse setup if I were you though, just in case a summer storm rolls past - probably next year now though  ;D ;D ;D

It will be an 8M line, its just the servers will be overloaded and hence you wont get 8m throughput.....

NTL are rubbish. I have to use the Dublin server to get an accurate result. Both Maidenhead and London are useless from here. And 'here' is Southampton...
